Topic: SI frame tables size2 vs size3

It'll probably turn out I'm using an ancient copy of the rules to reference...

Why are SI infantry of size 1-2 so restricted? size 3 SI infantry have a far greater range. For example

On table  2.1 I can have an M5AR2+, M5AR3+ and an M5AR4+
however on table 2.3 for SI I can go from M5AR0+ through to M5AR2+ admittedly then I pay for the extra DC

Is this to represent some form of extra toughness as well as the extra DC point? or just a way of splitting up PI and SI of Size 2?

No biggy just something I noticed as I really wanted size2 SI @ M5AR1+ infantry frame

Re: SI frame tables size2 vs size3

In some cases it looks like the assumed bigger size of the troopers has been factored in by allowing them higher (inherent) Movement. But this is really something only Demian can address so I won't speculate further.
